Nemo means nobody? When was the last time this page was updated? This name is really cute, but imagine: “Hey look everybody! I found Nemo!” All’s fair in name meanings, but “nobody” is just mean.
Kinda rhymes with "an emo". The name is alright though. A bit sad it means nobody.

What was the point in trying to find Nemo? If the Romans were around today, they would be playing hide and seek with Nobody, what fun!

It means nobody? So the name of the movie translates to "Finding Nobody," that's kind of sad. I think it sounds like a cute name, though, especially as a nickname for a younger girl.
I like the name Nemo despite the meaning. It is a short name which I think is a plus in my book.

Nemo is one of those names that might appear okay on paper and I do, slightly, like this name. However, as others have mentioned in previous comments, this name might prove to be somewhat difficult to have as a first name in light of the pop cultural reference from the film, “Finding Nemo”. It may take a few decades before a set of parents may decide to use this name for any future child without the memory of the movie being a relevant association within the public’s imagination.

The fish from Finding Nemo makes this name adorable!
I'd like to add as well that I have actually come across a person with this name, who's a girl. Interestingly she's Somalian. I'm not sure if it means something in her culture. I never saw her get teased for her name. For her to introduce herself actually made some people smile (not in a "haha, what a silly name!" way, in a genuine "wow, cool!" way).

An absolutely adorable, blessed name. It's peaceful sounding and soft. I like the name Nemo for both genders. ^_^

I have a friend who's a girl named Nemo. I like it for a girl, though the meaning is sad.

Anyone with this name will be teased about "Finding Nemo."

I think this name would sound awesome on a fictional character. Not so on a real child, though. I loved the name even more after listening to "Nemo" by Nightwish.
I liked this name up until the stupid fish movie came out. I can't imagine giving a kid this name knowing he will have to go to school and face the other kids with it. :/
It would sound far cooler pronounced ''NE-mo'' instead of ''NEE-mo''. I'm afraid the name sounds a little too ''out there'', and people probably wouldn't expect a guy named Nemo to be particularly, um, conventional. Unfortunately enough, employers are often terrified of unconventional people.
I love this name for a girl. I know it is masculine, but I got the sense that in the song "Nemo" by Nightwish, it was feminine, because Tarja, the singer of Nightwish, is female. You get the picture. I think this is a beautiful name for a girl. For a guy it's okay.
Nemo means 'nobody'? That's a bit surprising. I wonder if they took that into account while making the animated movie. It's a cute name, though, I like it.
This name sounds cute, but I wouldn't use it. Imagine your kid playing hide and seek: "Look! I found Nemo!" Hearing that would get a wee bit on the annoying side, to say the least. Use it if you want to, but teasing will probably come with it.
I simply can't understand why this name has become so popular in Sweden. Oh yes, I know it's because of "Finding Nemo" and probably also because many people here like Nightwish, but I cringe. "Hello, I'm Nothing, who are you?" And it's "omen" spelled backwards.
